    I'm currently trying to delete a leftover folder from my Onedrive. but everytime I try to delete the folder it doesn't show anything. For context, this is a leftover folder which I have deleted most of the files already, but now only this folder is left behind and cannot be deleted I have tried a couple of ways which are- deleting it- checking its permission and changing its owner- using safe mode to delete- uninstalling onedrive then try to delete it- using command prompt to delete run as admin- disk checksbut none of them workthis is the path of the files:C:\Users\MyUsername\OneDrive\aLo

    Unable to delete leftovers folder from previous windows install

    Hi,

    I'm unable to delete a folder getting the Folder Access Denied window. I have tried deleting by:

    rmdir /q /s LEFTOV~1

    but still get the error below:

    LEFTOV~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\DAO\dao360.dll - Access is denied.

    LEFTOV~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\ink\Alphabet.xml - Access is denied.

    LEFTOV~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\ink\ar-SA\tipresx.dll.mui - Access is denied.

    LEFTOV~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\ink\bg-BG\tipresx.dll.mui - Access is denied.

    LEFTOV~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\ink\Content.xml - Access is denied.

    LEFTOV~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\ink\cs-CZ\tipresx.dll.mui - Access is denied.

    there are a number of other subfolders, mainly all .DLLS or .XMLs

    I have tried taking ownership of the folder by running: takeown /f D:\Downloads\LEFTOV~1

    This does not help.

    I am open to suggestions please. Thanks

    I'm currently trying to delete a leftover folder from my Onedrive. but everytime I try to...

    Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


    Suggestion:
    1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
      x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
    2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
    3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
    4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
      NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
